Notes

**Note 1:** **LDH and Metastatic disease** * For cases with positive metastases, Serum LDH is an additional data item that is predictor of survival outcome. * Serum LDH is coded in data item LDH (Lactate Dehydrogenase) Level [#3869] **Note 2:** **Distant metastasis** * Use code 70 when the only information is “distant metastasis, NOS,” and there is no documentation regarding the specific metastases. * If there are specific metastasis documented that are not listed in codes 10, 20, 30, or 40, assign code 50 for “other specified distant metastasis.”
